CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate 
with the value of the article offered or which is merely a nominal 
or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer if in his 
judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 


II. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and 
if any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer 
shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in 
dispute. 

III. Identification and part payment by buyer: The name 
of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately on the sale 
thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving 
the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and 
address. 


Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all 
or such part of the purchase prices as may be required. 

If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot 
or lots so purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put 
up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the 
auctioneer’s hammer and thereafter neither the consignor nor the 
Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any 
article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 


V. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will 
be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all 
purchases at the sale. 


Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the storage 
warehouse to which purchases may have been removed. 


Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only 
between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M. on sules’ days and on 
other days—except holidays, when no deliveries will be made— 


between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 


Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art

of sale unless by special notice or arrangement to the contrary. 


Deliveries at the storage warehouse to which goods may have 
been sent will be made on any day other than holidays between

Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost 
or mislaid may be made at the discretion of the auctioneer during 
the session of the sale at which they were sold. 


VI. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for 
goods: Articles not paid for in full and either not called for by 
the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order by noon of the 
day following that of the sale will be turned over by the Associa- 
tion to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse 
until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the 
cost of such cartage and storage will be charged against the pur- 
chaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal 
or storage will be upon the purchaser. aan 


NOTE: The Limited space of the Delivery Rooms 
of the Association makes the above requirements 
necessary, and it is not alone for the benefit of the 
Association, but also for that of its patrons, whose 
goods otherwise would have to be so crowded as to 
be subject to damage and loss. 

VII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases 
is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and 
will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The 
Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for 
employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers ; 
doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on 
its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such 
service. 


VIII: Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to 
catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at 
the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfec- 
tion, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the 
Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, 
authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside 
on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or imper- 
fection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “fas is” and 
without recourse. 


Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its 
sale, and the Association will give consideration to the opinion” of 
any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incor- 
rectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot 
as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who 
thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result 
were his opinion without foundation. 


IX. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Associa- 
tion for responsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, 
telegraph or telephone will be faithfully attended to without 
charge or commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to 
the foregoing conditions of sale except that, in the event of a 
purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who 
has not through himself or his agent been present at the exhibi- 
tion or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned 
within ten days from the date of sale and the purchase money will 
be refunded if the lot in any manner differs from its catalogue 
description. 

Orders for execution by the Association should be written and 
given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstand- 
ing. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, 
and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the 
lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the 
bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one trans- 
mitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should 
be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also 
be given. 

Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue or any 
session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at charges 
commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary 
information from the records of the Association.

HISTORICAL SET OF THREE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY 
AUBUSSON TAPESTRIES 


Illustrating Episodes in the Life of ‘Jeanne d’Are” 


These three tapestries were hung on the choir pillars of the 
Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris and formed the principal 
decoration of the Cathedral on May 14, 1922, when the services 
were held commemorative of Jeanne d’Arc’s deliverance of 
France from the English. His Eminence, Cardinal Dubois, 
Archbishop of Paris, presided over these ceremonies. (See 
reproduction in L’IIlustration of May 30, 1922.) 

The famous poem of Jean Chapelain (1595-1674), “La Pucelle 
ou la France délivrée,” inspired the cartoons for these tapestries. 
The poem was published in 1656 by Augustin Courbe, at the 
Palais, in the Galeries des Merciers. The edition was luxuriously 
illustrated, hors texte, and presented the life of Jeanne d’Arc. 
The illustrations were by A. Boss, and were engraved by C. 
Vignon. A portrait of S. A. Mgr. Henri d’Orléans, Duc de 
Longueville, Peer of France and reigning Prince of Neufchatel, 
was the frontispiece. The Orleans family commissioned the 
cartoons for these tapestries, which were directly based on the 
illustrations of the life of the Virgin of Domremy as they ap- 
peared in the poem. Only a few of these tapestries were woven, 
among which were these three now on exhibition. The borders 
display trailing flowers and fruit and are executed in the same 
mellow tones of blue, orange, tans, brown and pinks as the field. 


152—Avsusson TapEstry Seventeenth Century 
“Jeanne d’Arc Recognizes Charles VII, King of France.” 
The Maid of Orleans, clad as a simple shepherdess, a 
wreath of flowers on her brow, stands before the King with- 
in a halo of clouds. She is heralded by a cherub and at- 
tended by an angel. The King is with two warrior coun- 
selors, at center, wearing classic Roman attire. The Maid 
is admonishing him to regain his kingdom.
